Top 3 Ways to Get More Online Dating Prospects

Did you ever realize that some people can put up an online dating profile and get multiple emails from potential suitors in one day, while others struggle to get any interest in their profile? Don't chalk it all up to looks or personality--the problems may be far simpler than that. If you are one of those people who can't seem to get any "dates" online, here are the top 3 ways to get more out of your online dating experience:

1. Keep your photos fresh. If you don't have a picture on your profile at all, get one up today! If you do have pictures on your profile, don't leave them there to grow stale. Switch them around now and then. Every few weeks put up a new picture or two, to keep people interested. Plus, a lot of dating sites actually have searches by "photos updated in the last week", so your profile will even come up more in searches. Be sure to be honest, and post "real" pictures, not glamour shots. No, looks aren't everything, but it's only fair for other people to know what your appearance is like.

2. Change the wording of your profile. If you aren't getting many views or emails or flirts, perhaps something in your wording could be changed. Could what you have written be boring? Don't say "I like to read". Say: "My favorite time of the day is the evening when I can curl up with a classic novel and hot chocolate by the fireplace." Which sounds more interesting? Would you rather date someone who was descriptive and fun sounding, or boring sounding? Mention unusual interests or hobbies that you may have. Switch around your wording, and be creative, and your results should be improved as well.

3. Be open to all prospects. Don't limit your online searches to people who live in your city, county, or even your state. Remember, there may be a lot of great people who live in other states, or even other countries. Don't lose your soul mate because you weren't open to all the possibilities. If it's moving you're scared of, don't sweat it. Perhaps you will have a change of heart if the relationship progresses or maybe he/she will be the one to move to you. You just never know.

Making these simple changes could make all the difference for your love life this year!
